I only joined Tumblr in 2019, and following heritageposts and seeing what they post/reblog is like having an elderly mentor/father figure sit me in front of a campfire at night and tell me stories about the great legacy of my ancestors before putting his hand on my shoulder and assuring me I'll be as great as them
As someone who has literally never used Tumblr, I feel like I'm a wizard discovering an ancient and bizarre civilization with a dialect few can still read
I joined tumblr in early 2015. And by then, i wasnt even aware of Dashcon, or culture surrounding the platform before. What i did witness was the height of the Steven Falls Over (and other cartoons) during 2015. I remember it being called: "The Great Summer Hiatus of 2015" and almost every cartoon fandom was making up crossover content to get through. Oh and 2017-2018, i also witnessed a Boom in the Teen Musical fandom with the formation and height of "Hamilton Heathers Hansen" ( and later Be More Chill).
I kinda felt a sense of misplaced nostalgia seeing everyone talking about superwholock , Onceler, Homestuck, etc.. The" before days" as older users would call it (2011-14) As a newbie, i feel like i missed alot of Fun. I really wanna deep dive to this because im genuinely curious how was it like back then. Though i do notice a recent resurgence in a lot of fandoms this year...
A friend in class legitimately told me “I like ur shoelaces” the other day and the answer came out automatically and we exchanged urls and I just. I wish I was trolling. I don’t think we’ll ever truly escape and I’ve accepted that
a girl in my 8th grade science class told me "I like your shoelaces" and I lost 10 years of my life span but I couldn't miss the chance to reply that I stole them from the president. I moved countries 2 weeks later anyway, wonder how she's doing
I've been told that multiple times all in this year and I'm not a tumblr user so I didn't get it. But even worse is that it's not a weird things to say to me because I legitimately have cool shoelaces that are gay and all of my friends are gay so I don't know if they are being genuine or if they use tumblr and I'm going to die in a hole now goodbye.
i am disappointed you didnt cover the john green cock monologue that got our editing rights revoked, twas a very important part of the history (also sarah z did a good video about the mess that was dashcon and how it shaped tumblrs perception on the site)
@@alexisc3658 nah, he's definitely talked about it a few times now, and in fact it's said to be one of the reasons why this meme is still popular today. after all who doesn't love a tale about a then 38 year old man getting bullied by a bunch of teens using a shitty copypasta?
@@anishinaabae yeah how dare a human get offended by thousands of people constantly insulting them in spaces where they can see it? Like have you not grown up since then? The copypasta was funny if you where a teen i guess, but john says he never complained to Tumblr to make them change editing. But the amount hate for him on tumblr was much more then just that and it was crazy. It's not surprising that he was offended?
@erin Its ancient history at this point. but after The Fault in our Stars came out it blew up on tumblr. both the green bothers had a pretty visible presence on tumblr and would directly interact with fans when they would tag them ect, which looking back is a recipe for disasters but this was like 2012-2014 and no one really knew any better. Also at the time when you reblogged something you could edit someone elses post and make it look the said something else. So someone edit a john green post with some wild nsfw paragraph and it became a meme. Shortly after that ability was taken off tumblr and the rumor was that John had been the reason for that. He said recently that he never went to tumblr about it and it had nothing to do with but who really knows. But john did become a huge victim of the "I hate it because its popular" complex that was rampent on tumblr at the time and people would make nasty hate posts about him, accuse him of wild stuff ect and tag him in it. I think he left tumblr shortly after that and I am not surprised. People still joke about bullying him off tumblr but i think as a whole people are better about not tagging creators in hate posts about them.
A 16-year-old on tiktok talked about how they saw all this stuff in screenshots on Pinterest so I commented about how I was there in the early years and they responded “thank you for your service”
Ayy I’m 18 but definitely one of the pinterest = secondhand tumblr people. Truly tragic. I can’t believe how much i tried to fit in with an era that was already over, from a site that I wasn’t even on??
oh my god me too, particularly the posts about cringey metaphors for sexualities/absolutely fake stories about lgbtq stuff and fandom that i used to think were so cute- i'm scared to look through my old boards at this point haha
In early 2019, I was wearing my shoes that I had painted for therapy to school. My English teacher aprprocjed me and said “Hey I like your shoelaces” everything went silence. War flashbacks in my mind. As I confusedly replied “thanks I stole them from the president?...” my teacher just went “what” and then I went “what” and I was forced to explain wtf what I said was
Around 2016 I replaced the laces in my vans with some cool rainbow ones and I got a lot of compliments on them from the other weird/emo kids. But, you know, emo, lgbt, and tumblr kind of overlap a LOT so whenever someone said they liked my shoelaces my brain would go into overdrive trying to figure out whether I should mention the president
decoy same i have hi-top converse with one shoe having rainbow zebra & leopard print laces and the other having checkerboard ones and every time people compliment me on them i go into fight or flight mode
I am so afraid to watch that video bc i was 20 when i went to dash con and im afraid I’ll get war flashbacks. I never hear anyone talking about how people were physically assaulting hotel staff after the hotel manager demanded the con be canceled
Things I remember from early tumblr that I’ve wish were mentioned: -Calling Benedict Cumberbatch “Bumblerick Cucumberpatch” and other depraved things -Dan & Phil (Phan) edits, usually with flower crowns “smol British bean boys” -general obsession with British boys “If I had a British accent I’d never stop talking” -the “Emo trilogy” which became the “emo quadrilogy” with the rise in popularity of twenty one pilots -people’s urls being something like twentyønephangirlsatthedisco -Hipster Disney Princesses -Jackypoo & Markimoo -John Green being “Tumblr Dad” -tumblr high school, social medias as real people, and pretty much everything that led up to dashcon
We went from “British accents are the best! Sooo cute!!! Aaa!!” To “Haha watch them try to say y’all! ‘Yawl’ ‘YAwL’ haha!” Extreme love to mockery, in the matter of like 5 years
Bold of you to assume this is purely heritage! My youtube username used to be “Potter! At The Disco” and I literally still get compliments on it! Hell has no escape :)
Remember “WHAT IS AIR” and when people were obsessed with triangles for some reason and that post about the colors of the sky that made you scroll for ten years
@@sammythedragon I feel like 70% of the experience is just me and a bunch of my equally sad mutuals, who are also mutuals with each other, reblogging aesthetics nature and memes. which is why when a post gets into the bloodstream it takes it like a week to get ejected lol. I used to follow so many artists, it's just sad thinking how few of them are still there.
I broke into a cold sweat when she read the thing about Luna being Homestuck, the sheer amount of energy that comes from early tumblr comparing Homestuck to a Harry Potter character is astounding.
All the different variations with some surprise or meme blended into the end too. You never knew what was waiting at the end of that post. Or the short versions! So youd instinctually start scrolling real fast and end up half way down your dash.
@@someguy9893 when it first circulated the reblog button was at the top of the post so if you genuinely enjoyed it you'd have to scroll all the way up, and of course once people started spreading it since it was so long you'd generally have to scroll past it multiple times, sometimes even in a row
I still think about 1. Communismkills 2. Endless chocolate 3. Where is how touch the sky 4. Anon asks revealed to be the user 5. Rp blogs 6. I survived Tumblr maintenance And so much more..... God the things I've seen
Does anyone remember the fake viral post that circulated on tumblr claiming there was a different species of human born with purple eyes that will grow no body hair for their entire life.
That's still in circulation on Pinterest and my soul leaves my body every time it asserts itself into my line of sight. I don't look at anything remotely related to it, and yet it continues to haunt me like the spectre of a lover from my past life, unable to let me be free. When I least expect it, when it finally leaves my immediate memory, it reappears. I know no peace, no solace, only purple eyes tumblr post. I report it for medical misinformation every time.
Don't forget about the part where they were completely fertile but never had a period! ...I'm embarrassed to admit how jealous I was when I read the OP. I'd like to believe that the first thing I did was google it to factcheck it, but 13 year old me was just too naïve to even consider it could be inaccurate.
All I can think about is that one post where someone said something probably not that important, and fandoms got so angry they made a mile-long train of "grab your wands or sonic screwdrivers". It keeps me up at night. Sometimes when I close my eyes I see it. Taunting me.
That was so cringey 😭 I kept getting secondhand embarrassment since those types of comments made my fandoms look bad (I was a Superwholockian who also liked Homestuck so I was waist-deep in embarrassing peers)
The fact that you filmed this on the day of the US election, just hours before Tumblr collectively disintegrated and yeeted itself back in time to 2012 is just... so funny to me...
The worst part is reading the urls. I love that the “There’s so many cute boys with the voice of an angel” person is now a kpop stan since baek is in their url.
It's so freaking funny seeing that person be embarrassed by how they used to talk about Harry Styles but they probably talk the same way about BTS members or something There is no escape. The target changes but the emotions don't. When you stan, you're a stan for life.
@Hmnee Alenezi nah there’s not just one kpop fandom (some are chill which is why you don’t hear of them) however she didn’t join one of the craziest individual member fandoms
@Hmnee Alenezi Woah woah woah, I’m an Exo-l/Kpop fan too. As far as I’ve seen it’s mostly just fans on Twitter that are toxic. Most fans I’ve known are nice, support all of the members, and help out other groups. I’ve only joined in the past 2 years and missed the height of Exo-l toxicity but things are really chill now :)
Occasionally I'll be going about my day and out of nowhere have war flashbacks to that post about everyone regretting being 14 years old and someone replied "What, being a superwholockian, a tumblrian, and just being generally pretty good? I don't think so."
Totally. Tumblr before was childish and cringy, the most they did was say "you.. you b!tch!" bc you didn't like a ship they did. Now they doxx you and destroy your mental health and get off by bullying celebraties and calling them slurs & watching every single one of their moves to point out what they did wrong and make their life a living hell
I'm honestly so shocked there was only one mention of Homestuck here, I feel like I saw it everywhere on Tumblr back in the day. Glad to know it's a real thing and not just some weird fever dream at least
Quick Question: What tf is Homestuck? I've seen it named everywhere for legit *years* (also, the crazy amount of fanart) but I've never actually known what it is.
@@ww.DuzaFizz it’s an insanely long webcomic, it’s about these kids who have to save the universe or something. Honestly every time I learn more about it I get more confused. My sister is currently reading it.
I wasn’t as young as a lot of tumblr users of this era and believe me if you tried to say anything about how cringe some of the posts were you were outcasted and everyone unfollowed you Edit: I was 17 y/o in 2012 so not like weirdly older then everyone lol
I wasnt allowed on any social media at this point in history but as a lifelong Dr Who fan, hearing the phrase "superwholock" still gave me war flashbacks. Those were dark days.
I once had an ex girlfriend who had me read explicit, Once Upon a Time fanfiction on some weird fanfiction site to her while we were drunk and then we had sex and that was probably the peak of this era of Tumblr for me. I often wonder was she so hopelessly unattracted to me that that fictional fairytale lesbians were the only way to awaken her desire.
Sometimes I just randomly remember that week we all thought 4chan was going to come kill us or something. And then immediately afterwards people personified the two sites and started shipping them
"childhood", she says. Man, the worst part about being on tumblr all the way back in 2010 was that I was AN ADULT the whole time. A young adult, but still. I can't believe it's been 10 years... Oof. Ow. Me bones, they hurt.
it was the opposite for me, i was literally in 5th and 6th grade when i was on tumblr and i was for some reason allowed to watch the superwholock shows as an 11 year old?
I don't have to imagine it. I remember when the first video abt it was released and everyone on my dash freaked out. Dark times. 😥😂 Thankfully I am in the UK tho. If I weren't, I might have even gone to DashCon tbh but my mental health issues were even worse at the time so who knows lol
I don't blame people for being excited. They just really wanted to meet other tumblr users, make some friends, and have some fun. They had no way of knowing what a shitshow things were behind the scenes.
I just started watching Hannibal the other day (I was a very sheltered child/teen), and I'm so glad I wasn't on Tumblr during these times so the show isn't ruined for me
Honestly, the Fannibal was a load of fun, there were little antis and the best crack I've ever seen. That show spoiled me for crack content, everything else is just a pale shadow now.
Brian Fuller managed to make this violent dramatic story, with enough signs for us the gays to know it was for us, but not too many so it wont scare the straights away. Hannibal is soo good.
The Mishapocalypse was the day I blocked SO MANY PEOPLE. As someone who wasn’t even involved in that fandom, to see my dash swarmed with his face- it was terrifying. I was traumatized.
it makes me glad that i was primarily a bandom blog during that time so i didn’t see it nearly as frequently but i still remember how absolutely wild everyone was getting over it, and people making posts complaining about the mishapocalypse. 💀💀💀
I know it’s kinda dying, but my physical science teacher was giving an example problem about acceleration that included a lizard. It also included a bird, and she ended it by saying “Oh, worm?”
there needs to be a part 2 to this with the absolute classics like none pizza with left beef and imagine how is touch the sky and the yelling tutorial for sugar scrub and do you like the colour of the sky bc i want to see more suffering
seeing that pic about shipping people, and seeing carrie hope fletcher with her ex (dont want to say his name, he doesnt deserve that) like it makes me cringe to think how all us fangirls and fanboys just used to idiolise that reletionship so much. makes me sad the fact that we didnt know back then (also btw sorry for my spelling mistakes)
@@jasmin6380 he was abusive towards her, and when she came out with her story more women also came out against him. He also started posting vids a few years later trying to spin the tale against carrie :/ . All posts carrie made about her abuse (which was mostly psychological if I remember right) she has since removed since she just wanted to move on and not get comments about it anymore which I totally get 😊, also it took me a few years to find out what happend since I only followed her TH-cam and not other social, so your not alone😊
Doubt this will be seen, but was talking with a friend about "the knitter" (the tumblr supervillain that all sprung from a guy posting a pic of him knitting) and think it would be really cool to see a deep dive on that, something a bit more wholesome than normal too lol
as fucked up as tumblr is (and definitely was) i wouldn't have realized I was gay if not for having been exposed to whatever the fuck tumblr was during the entirety of 2011. Like, I live in a v small town and would've hated myself for being gay instead of like, hating myself for still having a tumblr in the year of our lord 2021 like a normal person
@@Holytitmouse Honestly without tumblr I would have never known I was Aroace and I mightve actually grown up thinking I would _eventually_ fall in love and accidentally get stuck in a loveless marriage Edit: Actually for more context, I live in a _very_ catholic country where marriage is like the second to the last *Achievement™* in life (with the last being have children, ofcourse)
Me: * watches the video to see, what did I miss in 2012-13 on tumblr when I was a kid * Tumblr: * that Lorax guy thirst posts * Me: I missed nothing I guess Now, where's a holy water
I went to their blog and the "this is the ugliest post ive ever made this aint who i am anymore ive changed" person is still posting the same weird stuff but has just switched from 1D to exo lol
The tumblr post that constantly lives in my head is that one guy pissing off all of Superwholock by making fun of them via the medium of the Madden 15 gif generator
Tom yeah some guy posted a Madden 15 gif that said “Superwholock is fuccin trash,” superwholock found the post, stoked the flames in the comments, and the account proceeded to reply to every comment with a Madden 15 gif calling them a nerd/12 year old, in a performance that should stand against the greatest achievements any single man has accomplished, up there with Wilt Chaimberlain’s 100 point game and Tom Brady’s 2007 season
the funniest part is that a lot of 2013 fandoms are having a revival now. hannibal is all over tumblr and twitter. me and the girlies are supernatural blogging again. i follow a few people who are very smart grad students and scientists who also think there's a secret final sherlock episode. i'm just glad i moved past hating my preteen self and everything associated with it because honestly i'm having the time of my life lmaoo
Hannibal has almost definitely revived due to it being added to US Netflix, and I couldn't be more grateful 😭. I still dream about the show getting a season 4. 🤡
@@Iron_Stigmata YES . i’m 5 years late to hannibal; somehow never got around to watching the show despite reading all of the books.. i’m praying to the netflix gods for s4
@@kindnepenthe I recommend the books! I happened to get all of them for free after my college had a giveaway on a ton of their old books :'). The tone is way different than the show, but they're really entertaining nonetheless.
tumblr was always the epitome of wanting to do something, planning to do something, and saying you're about to do something, but never actually doing it.
Oh, the shoelaces "phrase". Back then I wrote it on the door of a bathroom stall at school and was so excited when I later saw that someone else wrote the correct response. :D Wild times... I wish I could say that was elementary school, but it was actually university...

Same - even in my weird middle school fanfic reading stage in life (that still makes me cringe periodically), it was one of a very short list of tags that would make me immediately scroll past something
i am literally in two of those three fandomz and i don't plan to change any time soon... 😔 good thing i murdered cringe culture with my cold, sinful handz
i was too young to be on tumblr in this era but somehow i still found myself growing up on these kinds of posts, because i would just search up tumblr posts about fandoms i was in on google images
Yeah, no, I was on Tumblr like 2011-2013 and got absolutely trashed for random opinions I had. Couldn't even criticize the French (my native language) translations of some books without being insulted by the very English/American fandoms :')

I joined tumblr in early 2015. And by then, i wasnt even aware of Dashcon, or culture surrounding the platform before.
What i did witness was the height of the Steven Falls Over (and other cartoons) during 2015. I remember it being called: "The Great Summer Hiatus of 2015" and almost every cartoon fandom was making up crossover content to get through.
Oh and 2017-2018, i also witnessed a Boom in the Teen Musical fandom with the formation and height of "Hamilton Heathers Hansen" ( and later Be More Chill).
I kinda felt a sense of misplaced nostalgia seeing everyone talking about superwholock , Onceler, Homestuck, etc..
The" before days" as older users would call it (2011-14)
As a newbie, i feel like i missed alot of Fun. I really wanna deep dive to this because im genuinely curious how was it like back then.
Though i do notice a recent resurgence in a lot of fandoms this year...
Ah yees *rocks back and forth in my bright orange IKEA office chair* lee me tell yi abeout thee thengs we seen...
WHY DOES THE WEED GIRLFRIEND SOUND LIKE ONISION'S BOOK

Hello Lin follower
@@Ella-ym5ye Heyyyyy ✌️
A friend in class legitimately told me “I like ur shoelaces” the other day and the answer came out automatically and we exchanged urls and I just. I wish I was trolling. I don’t think we’ll ever truly escape and I’ve accepted that
a girl in my 8th grade science class told me "I like your shoelaces" and I lost 10 years of my life span but I couldn't miss the chance to reply that I stole them from the president. I moved countries 2 weeks later anyway, wonder how she's doing
@@spoiltmilk6511 i like to imagine you moved countries simply because of that experience
@@erin_the_extra2329 the thing that hurt most is that I looked enough like someone who uses tumblr for her to say that
I've been told that multiple times all in this year and I'm not a tumblr user so I didn't get it. But even worse is that it's not a weird things to say to me because I legitimately have cool shoelaces that are gay and all of my friends are gay so I don't know if they are being genuine or if they use tumblr and I'm going to die in a hole now goodbye.
The eyebrow slit? The spiked choker? The eyeball sweater? All powerful on their own, but together, overwhelmingly goth and gay. I love it
i am disappointed you didnt cover the john green cock monologue that got our editing rights revoked, twas a very important part of the history (also sarah z did a good video about the mess that was dashcon and how it shaped tumblrs perception on the site)
John Green actually talked about this for the first (?) time on one of his podcasts.
@@alexisc3658 nah, he's definitely talked about it a few times now, and in fact it's said to be one of the reasons why this meme is still popular today. after all who doesn't love a tale about a then 38 year old man getting bullied by a bunch of teens using a shitty copypasta?
@@anishinaabae yeah how dare a human get offended by thousands of people constantly insulting them in spaces where they can see it? Like have you not grown up since then? The copypasta was funny if you where a teen i guess, but john says he never complained to Tumblr to make them change editing. But the amount hate for him on tumblr was much more then just that and it was crazy. It's not surprising that he was offended?
i’m sorry *what*
@erin Its ancient history at this point. but after The Fault in our Stars came out it blew up on tumblr. both the green bothers had a pretty visible presence on tumblr and would directly interact with fans when they would tag them ect, which looking back is a recipe for disasters but this was like 2012-2014 and no one really knew any better.
Also at the time when you reblogged something you could edit someone elses post and make it look the said something else. So someone edit a john green post with some wild nsfw paragraph and it became a meme. Shortly after that ability was taken off tumblr and the rumor was that John had been the reason for that. He said recently that he never went to tumblr about it and it had nothing to do with but who really knows.
But john did become a huge victim of the "I hate it because its popular" complex that was rampent on tumblr at the time and people would make nasty hate posts about him, accuse him of wild stuff ect and tag him in it. I think he left tumblr shortly after that and I am not surprised.
People still joke about bullying him off tumblr but i think as a whole people are better about not tagging creators in hate posts about them.
All this just migrated over to pinterest. These posts are still floating around in very low resolution on the boards of many a 12 year old
Pinterest at this point is just Tumblr without people actually talking to each other.
was on Instagram for a while there too that's where I got exposed to all this
What makes this even more cursed is that I recognise you from Pinterest.
...Hell, I'm pretty sure you follow me on there.
Yeah lmao, pinterest is where I go when i feel like looking at the relics
its like another dimension entirely
"bitch that's the tubby custard machine" still sends me to this day
Same, that's the one I was thinking of while watching this. A classic.
Omg i remember that
It's either that or "those are his hooves you bitch" for me
thank you for reminding me lmao
A 16-year-old on tiktok talked about how they saw all this stuff in screenshots on Pinterest so I commented about how I was there in the early years and they responded “thank you for your service”
Ayy I’m 18 but definitely one of the pinterest = secondhand tumblr people. Truly tragic. I can’t believe how much i tried to fit in with an era that was already over, from a site that I wasn’t even on??
@@NathanOhsure Holy shit you basically just described me. Although I did get a Tumblr account to try to fit in. Big oof on my part
oh my god me too, particularly the posts about cringey metaphors for sexualities/absolutely fake stories about lgbtq stuff and fandom that i used to think were so cute- i'm scared to look through my old boards at this point haha
For me Pinterest is just Tumblr without people actually talking to each other at this point
I was also one of these kids, I think I would've killed to be a part of this era of tumblr when I was 11
In early 2019, I was wearing my shoes that I had painted for therapy to school. My English teacher aprprocjed me and said “Hey I like your shoelaces” everything went silence. War flashbacks in my mind. As I confusedly replied “thanks I stole them from the president?...” my teacher just went “what” and then I went “what” and I was forced to explain wtf what I said was
I'm so sorry but I'm Screaming 💀💀
I love this so much
Perfect 😂
Around 2016 I replaced the laces in my vans with some cool rainbow ones and I got a lot of compliments on them from the other weird/emo kids. But, you know, emo, lgbt, and tumblr kind of overlap a LOT so whenever someone said they liked my shoelaces my brain would go into overdrive trying to figure out whether I should mention the president
decoy same i have hi-top converse with one shoe having rainbow zebra & leopard print laces and the other having checkerboard ones and every time people compliment me on them i go into fight or flight mode
Sarah Z did a 50 Minute deep dive into the absolute shitshow that was DashCon (TM) !!!! you should really take a look, its....a journey.
Yeah! I watched this having never heard of DashCon before (I was never really part of Tumblr even in its heyday) and it was a trip
Ill definitely check that out!
I am so afraid to watch that video bc i was 20 when i went to dash con and im afraid I’ll get war flashbacks. I never hear anyone talking about how people were physically assaulting hotel staff after the hotel manager demanded the con be canceled
She also did a video on the Onceler fandom. xD
i came here to say this! yesss
The fact that we didn't even see RANDY YOUR STICKS! is a tragedy
*Shrek voice* They didn't even have the Randy your sticks post
I love RANDY YOUR STICKS!
RANDY YOUR 3 YEAR OLD TH-cam COMMENT!!!!!!!
Things I remember from early tumblr that I’ve wish were mentioned:
-Calling Benedict Cumberbatch “Bumblerick Cucumberpatch” and other depraved things
-Dan & Phil (Phan) edits, usually with flower crowns “smol British bean boys”
-general obsession with British boys “If I had a British accent I’d never stop talking”
-the “Emo trilogy” which became the “emo quadrilogy” with the rise in popularity of twenty one pilots
-people’s urls being something like twentyønephangirlsatthedisco
-Hipster Disney Princesses
-Jackypoo & Markimoo
-John Green being “Tumblr Dad”
-tumblr high school, social medias as real people, and pretty much everything that led up to dashcon
We went from “British accents are the best! Sooo cute!!! Aaa!!” To “Haha watch them try to say y’all! ‘Yawl’ ‘YAwL’ haha!”
Extreme love to mockery, in the matter of like 5 years
This hit way too close home
I feel like the emo quadrilogy is too recent to be considered early tumblr
Bold of you to assume this is purely heritage! My youtube username used to be “Potter! At The Disco” and I literally still get compliments on it! Hell has no escape :)
I'm having some severe flashbacks now.
Can't believe Aeons would put herself in the crosshairs of the LA gangs like this
"My three weed smoking girlfriends" shaped my entire sense of humor when I first read it in 2015.
Remember “WHAT IS AIR” and when people were obsessed with triangles for some reason and that post about the colors of the sky that made you scroll for ten years
This is the tumblr I remember!
Everytime I see that damned post I literally wanna throw myself out of the window
ah the scalene triangle
Oh my god, WHAT IS AIR is quite possibly my earliest memory of tumblr. All the way back in 2011, jesus. Remember Creamsicle from the same time?
"When people were obsessed with triangles for some reason"
Vi Hart called
We were spared from seeing that stupid “color of the sky” post
I see that thing atleast once a week :v
I had it on my dash daily for like a week a few months back
i hate this post with a burning passion. God i hate it so much.
@@sammythedragon I feel like 70% of the experience is just me and a bunch of my equally sad mutuals, who are also mutuals with each other, reblogging aesthetics nature and memes. which is why when a post gets into the bloodstream it takes it like a week to get ejected lol. I used to follow so many artists, it's just sad thinking how few of them are still there.
can someone elaborate on this
not too much though i don’t want the post to haunt me too
How you managed to dodge the homestuck fandom during this is beyond me.
probably saving that for an episode of its own lol
It has so much tumblr history that it would require its own video SERIES.
To be fair, there was an Eridan cosplayer in the ball pit photo. So Homestuck at least made a brief appearance.
I broke into a cold sweat when she read the thing about Luna being Homestuck, the sheer amount of energy that comes from early tumblr comparing Homestuck to a Harry Potter character is astounding.
I feel blessed for dodging the homestuck fandom too
I’m so glad that Wednesday Addams had such a glow-up 🙌🏻🙌🏻
"Destiel to become canon?" - oh NO. look at what you've brought us, Teya
Can't believe you didn't mention the "Potterheads grab your wands" post
that post is directly responsible for everything bad that has ever happened to me in my life
i feel like tiktok is recreating that post lol
Only thing missing is the "do you love the color of the sky?" meme. The amount of times I had to scroll and scroll past that damn post
I like that post, it's pretty. What's wrong with it? Genuinely curious
All the different variations with some surprise or meme blended into the end too. You never knew what was waiting at the end of that post. Or the short versions! So youd instinctually start scrolling real fast and end up half way down your dash.
@@someguy9893 I guess it wasn’t necessarily bad just a very memorable/nostalgic part of being on tumblr during that time
@@someguy9893 when it first circulated the reblog button was at the top of the post so if you genuinely enjoyed it you'd have to scroll all the way up, and of course once people started spreading it since it was so long you'd generally have to scroll past it multiple times, sometimes even in a row
that is still around
I still think about
1. Communismkills

Does anyone remember the fake viral post that circulated on tumblr claiming there was a different species of human born with purple eyes that will grow no body hair for their entire life.
That's still in circulation on Pinterest and my soul leaves my body every time it asserts itself into my line of sight. I don't look at anything remotely related to it, and yet it continues to haunt me like the spectre of a lover from my past life, unable to let me be free. When I least expect it, when it finally leaves my immediate memory, it reappears. I know no peace, no solace, only purple eyes tumblr post.
I report it for medical misinformation every time.
Didn't it originate from a Twilight fanfiction or something?
Don't forget about the part where they were completely fertile but never had a period!

i was just waiting for it and came out pretty disappointed
we shall never speak of that time
I’m going to be honest I was all over tumblr back in the day and I never really learned what Homestuck was.
Throw back to when I unironically reblogged the “potter heads grab your wands” post multiple times
NO I DID TOO

I remember being really bitter because there wasn't a version that mentioned firefly or something
@@toryslapper69
grab your fireflies
every time I remember *"BLEACH FANS GRAB YOUR BLEACH!!"* I lose my mind
All I can think about is that one post where someone said something probably not that important, and fandoms got so angry they made a mile-long train of "grab your wands or sonic screwdrivers". It keeps me up at night. Sometimes when I close my eyes I see it. Taunting me.
That was so cringey 😭
I kept getting secondhand embarrassment since those types of comments made my fandoms look bad (I was a Superwholockian who also liked Homestuck so I was waist-deep in embarrassing peers)
YES THIS ONE
Bleach fans grab your bleach.
gleeks grab your slushies
Which one? Please tell me where I can find it, I want to suffer.
The fact that you filmed this on the day of the US election, just hours before Tumblr collectively disintegrated and yeeted itself back in time to 2012 is just... so funny to me...
The worst part is reading the urls.
I love that the “There’s so many cute boys with the voice of an angel” person is now a kpop stan since baek is in their url.
It's so freaking funny seeing that person be embarrassed by how they used to talk about Harry Styles but they probably talk the same way about BTS members or something
There is no escape. The target changes but the emotions don't. When you stan, you're a stan for life.
as a bbhl... bbhls are fucking weird
i’m not surprised they turned into a baekhyun fan, it’s strange how one member can have an infinitely more insane fandom than others
@Hmnee Alenezi nah there’s not just one kpop fandom (some are chill which is why you don’t hear of them) however she didn’t join one of the craziest individual member fandoms
@Hmnee Alenezi Woah woah woah, I’m an Exo-l/Kpop fan too. As far as I’ve seen it’s mostly just fans on Twitter that are toxic. Most fans I’ve known are nice, support all of the members, and help out other groups. I’ve only joined in the past 2 years and missed the height of Exo-l toxicity but things are really chill now :)

i wonder how theyre doing
God, I hope this person is doing better by now :/
I regret that reply and I didn’t even write it
Tragedy: I have an ex friend who is like that now, except she's like, over 20, and it's 2021
Even though it was atrocious, I really miss the """""youthful""""""" atmosphere tumblr and many other social media had back then.
Same tho tbh
yeah lol, it definitely had its downsides but social media is so jaded now it can kinda get depressing lmao
Totally. Tumblr before was childish and cringy, the most they did was say "you.. you b!tch!" bc you didn't like a ship they did. Now they doxx you and destroy your mental health and get off by bullying celebraties and calling them slurs & watching every single one of their moves to point out what they did wrong and make their life a living hell
I'm honestly so shocked there was only one mention of Homestuck here, I feel like I saw it everywhere on Tumblr back in the day. Glad to know it's a real thing and not just some weird fever dream at least
Honestly same here o.o It followed me everywhere.
Quick Question:
What tf is Homestuck? I've seen it named everywhere for legit *years* (also, the crazy amount of fanart) but I've never actually known what it is.

I wasn’t as young as a lot of tumblr users of this era and believe me if you tried to say anything about how cringe some of the posts were you were outcasted and everyone unfollowed you
Edit: I was 17 y/o in 2012 so not like weirdly older then everyone lol
The "Oppa Homeless Style" post managed to make me cringe despite the fact that I don't even know anything of its existence.
I wasnt allowed on any social media at this point in history but as a lifelong Dr Who fan, hearing the phrase "superwholock" still gave me war flashbacks. Those were dark days.
This isn’t a tumblr deep dive, this is THE tumblr deep dive.
I once had an ex girlfriend who had me read explicit, Once Upon a Time fanfiction on some weird fanfiction site to her while we were drunk and then we had sex and that was probably the peak of this era of Tumblr for me.
I often wonder was she so hopelessly unattracted to me that that fictional fairytale lesbians were the only way to awaken her desire.
Nice

"childhood", she says. Man, the worst part about being on tumblr all the way back in 2010 was that I was AN ADULT the whole time. A young adult, but still. I can't believe it's been 10 years... Oof. Ow. Me bones, they hurt.
Same, same.
I had a career in 2010. I had just purchased my house about two years prior. I feel really, really fucking ancient right now.
I think people forget that adults can be retroactively awkward/embarrassing internet users as well. It's mostly young teens though.
same here :/
it was the opposite for me, i was literally in 5th and 6th grade when i was on tumblr and i was for some reason allowed to watch the superwholock shows as an 11 year old?

Imagine being excited for Dash Con. Can we just get a video a Dash Con but the 'Hellfire' song from Hunchback of Notre Dame plays over it.
I don't have to imagine it. I remember when the first video abt it was released and everyone on my dash freaked out. Dark times. 😥😂 Thankfully I am in the UK tho. If I weren't, I might have even gone to DashCon tbh but my mental health issues were even worse at the time so who knows lol
The curb theme is more accurate
I cAcKleD
I don't blame people for being excited. They just really wanted to meet other tumblr users, make some friends, and have some fun. They had no way of knowing what a shitshow things were behind the scenes.
I think the Titanic theme on a kazoo would be more fitting.
I can still binge watch Hannibal without cringing so I consider that a step above Sherlock.
Seriously just watch Hannibal
I just started watching Hannibal the other day (I was a very sheltered child/teen), and I'm so glad I wasn't on Tumblr during these times so the show isn't ruined for me
Tbh, Hannibal is really a damn good show. Even Tumblr couldn't take that away from it lmao
Honestly, the Fannibal was a load of fun, there were little antis and the best crack I've ever seen. That show spoiled me for crack content, everything else is just a pale shadow now.
Brian Fuller managed to make this violent dramatic story, with enough signs for us the gays to know it was for us, but not too many so it wont scare the straights away. Hannibal is soo good.

I was traumatized.

@@Iron_Stigmata YES . i’m 5 years late to hannibal; somehow never got around to watching the show despite reading all of the books.. i’m praying to the netflix gods for s4
@@kindnepenthe I recommend the books! I happened to get all of them for free after my college had a giveaway on a ton of their old books :'). The tone is way different than the show, but they're really entertaining nonetheless.

alright that cancels out everything else okay then
Dashcon was just all the extroverts of tumblr in one place. As you can see, we only had a few.
This is way funnier than it has any right to be.
tumblr was always the epitome of wanting to do something, planning to do something, and saying you're about to do something, but never actually doing it.
Oh, the shoelaces "phrase". Back then I wrote it on the door of a bathroom stall at school and was so excited when I later saw that someone else wrote the correct response. :D Wild times... I wish I could say that was elementary school, but it was actually university...
Wouldn't elementary school be too young?
@@k-leb4671 I'm pretty sure there were people on tumblr who were actually too young to be officially allowed there.
@@Potkanka when I was in university at this drama club picnic with our director she was like "my 11 year old wants to be on Tumblr is it safe" and I was like "uhhhhhhhhhh"
@@Matthy63 Yeeeeah... I sometimes showed my little sisters things from tumblr but was secretly glad they weren't there themselves :D
How have I never realized she has the perfect widows peak?
Edit: oh boy I didn't expect this many likes 😅 thank you 😭
It looks almost _too_ perfect
Now I'm just imagining her with Vegeta's peak and I'll probably never be able to stop, thanks
"Do you listen to girl in red" is the TikTok version of "I like your shoelaces"
I have absolutely nothing to do with tiktok, and yet i feel inexplicably guilty...
but its not about tiktok ?
More a TH-cam thing isn’t it? Her songs are hella popular here
No it’s a wlw thing lmao
Isn't it a sapphic code tho ?
You exposed me to weed smoking girlfriends and for that I will be forever grateful.

UH I WAS ACTIVE ON TUMBLR 2010-2016 HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF THE WEED SMOKING GIRLFRIEND POST THIS IS SO AMAZING AND I SOMEHOW MISSED THIS GEM OF TUMBLR CULTURE BACK IN THE DAY WHEN TUMBLR WAS ALL I DID 24/7??? What a masterpiece I'm so sad I've never seen this until now
RPF is one of the few tags in fanfiction that I avoid like the plague.
Yeah it never sit well with me even as a kid.
Same - even in my weird middle school fanfic reading stage in life (that still makes me cringe periodically), it was one of a very short list of tags that would make me immediately scroll past something
"i promise I've changed"
*Still writes the same way and stans boy bands*
The holy Trinity:
Homestuck. Undertale. Hetalia.
@@lolllll8179 I was a hetalia nerd and I am well aware of how annoying I was
@@raccoon.pies. hetalia is coming back 😭
@@LilydoesThings may god help us all...
Zack! 4, 3, 2..
i am literally in two of those three fandomz and i don't plan to change any time soon... 😔
good thing i murdered cringe culture with my cold, sinful handz
"The first gang to get to 100 kills, gets to take over that part of the city," is one of the funniest sentences I've heard in a while
i was too young to be on tumblr in this era but somehow i still found myself growing up on these kinds of posts, because i would just search up tumblr posts about fandoms i was in on google images
"All memes are acceptable here"
"Post your thoughts here, no one is gonna get you down here"
Oh how things have changed.
Yeah, no, I was on Tumblr like 2011-2013 and got absolutely trashed for random opinions I had. Couldn't even criticize the French (my native language) translations of some books without being insulted by the very English/American fandoms :')
Lmao, Tumblr was a thousand times worse during that time, those rules were a fucking lie
The spoken pause, between "this is" and the reverent, exulting "the Weed Smoking Girlfriend post" is like the lyrical nature of a sermon.
